It only took ZoS three months after releasing shores of Summerset Isles to heroes with all-new ESO chapter Summerset for guys and gals and ZeniMax Online Studios to drop another adventure packed DLC dubbed "Wolfhunter" along with new dungeons and PVP content.

DLC packs, like "Wolfhunter", are free for all ESO+ subscribers. This new Hircine focused DLC introduces players to two new dungeons.

Moon Hunter Keep is a former base of operations of the legendary Order of the Siver Dawn, a group of western Tamriel werewolf hunters. Obliterated by ancient mother-wolf Vykosa it became a lair, and main base of operation, of that monster of legends and residents, were turned into beasts forever competing for the favor of their hunt-mistress. Recently, however, Vykosa has begun to gather werewolves from all of Tamriel creating an army of hungry beasts. Andonatus Varian, locked in a cell below the crumbling keep, seeks out the help of adventurers to put an end to Vykosa's threat.

March of Sacrifices Is a part of Hunting Grounds, a separate realm of existence ruled by a Daedric lord of the hunt - Hircine. In here mortals compete for a favor of Hircine. This ravine surrounded by insurmountable mountains is populated by the most dangerous beasts of Hircine's domain. The main game of the march is a massive Indrik imbued with powers of the Daedric Prince. Group of mortals that will manage to retrieve the glowing heart of this elusive beast may petition Hircine for a reward.

Both dungeons are typical 4-man instances that can be entered from Reapers's March (Moon Hunter Keep) and Greenshade (March of Sacrifices), both dungeons include normal and veteran versions. As per usual, dungeons introduce two new undaunted monster mask sets, unique memento, player skin, titles, housing items, and achievements.
